Area Report:
Sno-Eagles Trails Open
Fair to Good Early Riding Condition
Another COLD morning in Eagle River! 17 below at 8am. Single digit highs & below zero at night until Sunday. This is good for the remaining trail areas that were still mushy or wet.
Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Trail are OPEN & safe by the orange reflective barrels.
Land trail grooming last night included Trail 10W toward Sayner; Trail 13N toward Conover and portions of the the “Town Routes” – Trails 17N, 3N & 13S. With the COLD weather the trails are laying down great. Smooooooth where groomed.
Manske Swamp area of Trail 3 & WI River Bridge area of Trail 10W/13N are not groomed. Still concern that the grooming equipment is to heavy to travel through until more freezing of those areas goes on.
There are a few icy areas so be aware.
